It's Wednesday weigh ins! 2007-2022

[Bestwifeever]

Over 6lbs in 5 weeks, that's really steady progress, well done.

Ooops, one of those is an imaginary pound! I edited my post as I have lost enough imaginary pounds over the years

It's a relief to be in the teens, considering for several days I have been 120 and then 121 yesterday. I'm sure I'll be in the 120's after Thanksgiving, but at least I'm going into it in the teens, officially!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone - safe travels!

This is my diet spreadsheet. It will calculate your BMI and tell you if you are overweight, high normal, or low normal. I did not include underweight. I am over 6'2" and have to get below 165 for that figure. NO WAY.

You have to add your height in inches for it to work.

Turns out that I've got a viral infection and several secondary bacterial infections. I haven't worked out in nearly two weeks, and have put on weight because of that. My maintenance weight requires plenty of working out.

So, I'm going to have my work cut out for me when I get healthy.

 

[happy2bretired]

Sorry to hear about your illness Kronk. I've been under the weather too. I had another bout of pancreatitis last Wednesday evening and spent 2.5 days in the hospital. I think my "diet" was to blame this time. I tried eating more protein in the form of more red meat with more saturated fat about 3 weeks ago, more like the Adkins diet. I only ate like that for maybe 3-4 days before I was sooo constipated it wasn't funny. So, then I changed back to my normal way of eating, less meat, more veggies, etc. Anyway, I think that few days of eating more saturated fat may have kicked started my pancreatitis.

One thing about not eating or drinking (no water - no nothing) for 2 days sorta helped in jump-starting this week's weight loss.

Wow, so sorry to hear how sick you were! It takes a lot to be admitted to the hospital these days, so I know you were pretty under the weather. I eat more protein but not red meat. More chicken, turkey, etc. Never have been one to be able to do that pure Atkins diet, but I do focus on healthy, lean protein in my diet.

Feel better!!!

Not at all where I wanted to be going into the Holidays. We drove to Texas today (after the weigh in) and have already started over-eating

Kronk and h2b - I'm so sorry to hear that you have both been sick this last week. Hospitalization sounds really serious h2b, I hope you are fully recovered now.

Rustic, thanks for sharing your spreadsheet - I do something similar but I use conditional cell formats for colors to show good and bad, and I also chart the weight and keep my Waist to Hip ratio noted (which is in the red - I need to lose an inch from my waist).

No worries Alan...we gotta live a little on this thread! I, myself am about to partake of wings and potato skins (with my beer)! Happy Thanksgiving!!! We will take the few pounds off later! (probably not the sort of support I should be providing on this thread, but, hey, I'm 3 beers deep, LOL!)

Since you're already 3 beers deep have a couple for me and Irene.

Never again will I eat that much red meat. I'm not a big meat eater anyway, but, after reading Good Calories Bad Calories, I decided to experiment a little. I feel so much better with beans and a little chicken.

I'm feeling MUCH better now.

Well, I'm feeling healthier now than I was last week, but I'm still not 100%. I've worked out the last two days, and some of that has been a struggle. I'm all fat and weak.

My goal is to get myself down to 194 before Christmas. 7 pounds in 3 weeks is probably overly ambitious, but my current weight is probably a bit temporarily high with water weight. Aiming for 198 at next week's weigh-in.

 

[happy2bretired]

Kronk, glad to hear you are feeling more healthy this week. Don't try to take it off too quickly right after your illness. Give your body a little respite care and maybe start fresh again after the first of the year.

I have not walked since my illness...I gotta start that again. Gosh, it's so easy to get lazy.

Hurrah! I am happy about this loss. I still need to lose quite a bit, so on to the next 10 pounds!

Kronk, last week I was feeling sick and miserable too, and was way up for that reason. But this week I am feeling better, and without doing anything too drastic I lost all of it and 1.6 more. I am sure your weight will be down when you are feeling completely better.

 

[happy2bretired]

Good numbers, W2R... You still hitting the gym every day?

No, but I am still pretty happy with continuing to lose weight this week. I just didn't think I could work out when I was sick and feeling so dizzy. Kudos to Kronk for continuing to work out while sick!

 

[happy2bretired]

I know I couldn't make myself go to the gym last year. I started off pretty good and then...not. When it's cold, like it was last Jan-Feb, when I thought I would get my $$ worth from the gym, all I wanted to do was stay in my nice warm house.

Well, anything that you do for activity is better than nothing, right? At least that's the way that I look at it. Perfectionism is the enemy of weight loss. I love having the free time to be more active now than I was while working.

By the way, good weight loss this week, especially considering how much you lost last week! You're doing great.

Well done guys - I wish I could have half as well this week, but 5 days away living it up did bad things to my weight. Am I down-hearted? Of course not

 

[W2R]

Alan, you will shake that off in no time. I am always surprised at how well the practice of promptly getting back to Weight Watchers fundamentals seems to help in cases like this.

Wow, 5# gained in one week. I better have had a good time. Wait, let me check. Uh-huh. A good time was had by all!

So Alan, don't feel so bad, I officially have the worst record for the week!

Back on the diet wagon. Oh, and here's the clincher. No one in my family made even one comment about my weight loss. Yet, my dental hygienist, who has only met me once 6 months ago, said to me today "you've lost weight, haven't you?"

I guess people aren't very observant in my family. Must be the heavy beer drinking that went on. Did I mention my family has a German heritage? LOL.

I appreciate your sacrifice in saving my blushes

I can't believe no one in your family said anything Did you try stepping on a few feet and saying "oops sorry, that would have really hurt if I'd done it last time I saw you".

The only one that noticed and complimented you was someone you pay money to and has a vested interest in making you feel good

For what it's worth I think you look great Keep up the good work.
